    Re: HOWTO: PulseAudio Fixes & System-Wide Equalizer Support (Hardy Heron)

    YIKES.

    Following this thread, I ran the suggested commands. Not only was I unable to view the Daily Show (the reason I tried this), but now I am unable to watch ANY video files on ANY video player. (Except .mpg files using gxine.)

    How to undo the damage?

    Depending on the driver I'm using --and I've tried them all-- Mplayer gives me either "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo_ device" or "error at MB: 633" (whatever THAT means.) VLC, which used to be my fallback, is now useless. In desperation, I even checked RealPlayer.

    Here are the commands I used, copied from my .bash_history file. My computer has been in storage for a few months and I am a little rusty on this stuff. It's an x86_64 system, using Hardy which was recently upgraded from Gutsy. The video was working until I used these commands.

    What now?

    Code:
    getlibs -p libnspr4-0d
    getlibs -p libcurl3
    getlibs -p libasound2-plugins
    sudo apt-get remove libflashsupport
    sudo rm ~/.pulse/* ~/.asoundrc* /etc/asound.conf
    sudo apt-get install padevchooser libao-pulse libasound2-plugins libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio
    gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
    sudo apt-get update
    asoundconf set-pulseaudio
    echo "default_driver=pulse" >~/.libao
    In the third from the last line above, the following was added to my /etc/apt/sources.list:

    I can't test getlibs here as I don't have any 64bit systems, but you would need to run getlibs with administrator privileges (sudo).

    1. Are you using the Ubuntu (GNOME) release?
    2. Post your pulseaudio verbose log (see Appendix B of the guide at post #1).
    3. Post the output of mplayer using the pulse driver, e.g.:
    Code:
    $ mplayer -ao pulse /usr/share/example-content/ubuntu\ Sax.ogg
    Also be sure to check the troubleshooting tips in Appendix B.

    Re: HOWTO: PulseAudio Fixes & System-Wide Equalizer Support (Hardy Heron)

    Thanks for the assist, it is much appreciated. Now to your questions:

    1. Yes, it's Ubuntu w/ Gnome (version 2.22.3), amd64. I upgraded from Gutsy.

    2. I checked appendix B with two appliations. First application was Audacious (a music player), and I got result A. Second application was Hydrogen (a drum machine), and I got result B.

    Not sure if this helps, but when I first ran the test, an Mplayer plugin stream was already visible even though i had no instance of Mplayer running. (I did have to kill it once a bit earlier; one driver change/test made it 'sleeping', as it's called in the system monitor. IOW no response to my attempts to close & restart it.)

    Not sure what to make of this, but I've now received different results to the verbose output depending on what was open. Details below:

    First time: applet open, Audacious running. I gave the last line about a minute, than ctrl+X'd it.

    Code:

    Second time: closed the PulseAudio applet, only apps open were browser and terminal:

    Code:
    I: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time/high-priority scheduling was requested in the configuration. However, we lack the necessary priviliges:
    I: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-rt' and PolicyKit refuse to grant us priviliges. Dropping SUID again.

    I: main.c: High-priority scheduling enabled in configuration but now allowed by policy. Disabling forcibly.
    E: pid.c: Daemon already running.
    E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
    Third time, same as above but as root:

    Code:
    E: main.c: Failed to kill daemon.
    I: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time/high-priority scheduling was requested in the configuration. However, we lack the necessary priviliges:

    I: main.c: High-priority scheduling enabled in configuration but now allowed by policy. Disabling forcibly.
    E: pid.c: Daemon already running.
    E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
    Fourth; one last time, with PulseAudio applet and Hydrogen open (though not playing):

    Code:
    I: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time/high-priority scheduling was requested in the configuration. However, we lack the necessary priviliges:
    I: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-rt' and PolicyKit refuse to grant us priviliges. Dropping SUID again.
    I: main.c: For enabling real-time scheduling please acquire the appropriate PolicyKit priviliges, or become a member of 'pulse-rt', or increase the RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits for this user.
    I: main.c: Note that real-time/high-priority scheduling is NOT normally required. If you experience crackling or other sound anomalies, consider one or more of the above solutions.
    I: main.c: High-priority scheduling enabled in configuration but now allowed by policy. Disabling forcibly.
    E: pid.c: Daemon already running.
    E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.

    Finally, question #3. Not sure what to make of the "mplayer: no such file or directory" line. After I realized the video wasn't working, I reinstalled Mplayer, VLC, and all related libraries using Synaptic, (thinking that if I'd hosed any dependencies that would fix them.)

    Code:

    That's probably normal. I suspect that Hydrogen isn't compatible with PulseAudio.

    Not sure if this helps, but when I first ran the test, an Mplayer plugin stream was already visible even though i had no instance of Mplayer running. (I did have to kill it once a bit earlier; one driver change/test made it 'sleeping', as it's called in the system monitor. IOW no response to my attempts to close & restart it.)
    That could indicate that mplayer crashes when using its PulseAudio output, perhaps.

    Not sure what to make of this, but I've now received different results to the verbose output depending on what was open. Details below:

    First time: applet open, Audacious running. I gave the last line about a minute, than ctrl+X'd it.
    You didn't need to test under all those circumstances. The first output indicated no problems, and all subsequent tries indicated that a PulseAudio server was already running.

    1. Did getlibs complain of any problems when trying to install the 32bit packages? You may want to check IntuitiveNipple's PPA to get a "fixed" version of getlibs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...7&postcount=10

    2. Log out and log back in. Don't allow any other applications that use audio to remain open, then run mplayer (using the advice of Appendix B) in two ways:

    First:
    Code:
    $ mplayer -ao alsa /usr/share/example-content/ubuntu\ Sax.ogg
    Second:
    Code:
    $ mplayer -ao pulse /usr/share/example-content/ubuntu\ Sax.ogg
    If it doesn't give result A in both instances, I'm not sure what's wrong on your system. Let me know the results, and paste the output for both instances here.

    If you want to disable PulseAudio, the quickest way is:
    Code:
    $ asoundconf unset-pulseaudio
    Also you may want to change the entries in System/Preferences/Sound from Autodetect to ALSA.

    Code:
    dpkg -l | grep asound

    Code:
    dpkg -l | grep asound gives:

    i know they were for 64-bit, i just thought i'd see if i missed something

    now, i did get libasound2-plugins thru apt, actually thru your PPA

    oh and yes all other apps play sound fine and show on the pulseaudio GUI volume and devices tabs:

    my problem is only with flash video. it does work temporarily if i install libflashsupport or flashplugin-nonfree, however after a few minutes flash video just stops showing.

    believe me your help is much appreciated!

    It's possible you have an older version of flash on your system (possibly from a manual installation).

    Code:
    $ sudo updatedb
    $ locate libflashplayer.so
    Delete any references to that file on your system, and then reinstall the flashplugin-nonfree package:
    Code:
    $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree
    Ensure you have version "10.0.1.218+10.0.0.569ubuntu1~ppa2" of this package installed. Paste the apt-get log if you still have problems.

    Re: HOWTO: PulseAudio Fixes & System-Wide Equalizer Support (Hardy Heron)

    I got result A from both mplayer tests! Hopefully that's good news...


    Anyway I'm afraid I don't remember any complaints from getlibs, but am not sure. Should I run those lines again to check?

    So first I checked IntuitiveNipple's post, added his/her PPA to my repository list, and updated apt-get. I then changed the sound preferences (for everything) from autodetect to ALSA. After this I logged off/on and ran the Appendix B tests.

    I haven't yet disabled PulseAudio, because I'm not sure if that's what I need or want to do here. Here are the test results:

    Test 1:

    Are you aware that you have to restart Firefox for changes to take effect? What version of the plugin is shown in Firefox's "about:plugins" ?

    Please, don't confuse my instructions.

    In my last post, I asked you to test mplayer using the "alsa" output, then the "pulse" output. In your tests you tested mplayer with "alsa" both times.

    I also gave you instructions to disable PulseAudio, which you shouldn't have done until after following the mplayer tests.

    You will need to enable PulseAudio again:
    1.
    Code:
    $ asoundconf set-pulseaudio
    2. System/Preferences/Sound. Set "Sound playback" options to Autodetect (this only affects GStreamer applications, though).

    When PulseAudio is "enabled", log out and back in, then try the mplayer tests again (just ensure you use "-ao pulse" for the second attempt). Be sure *not* to have other audio applications running during these tests.
